Cooking with Beer: Arizona Quiche Recipe

Beer and quiche? Why not! But this isn’t your regular high-brow quiche; it’s filled with spicy-hot chilies, peppers and creamy Jack cheese. Quiches aren’t the lightest fare, but if you’d like a lighter version of this recipe, use 2/3 cup light sour cream, 1-1/4 cups egg substitute, 1/2 cup skim milk, and pepper along with the beer.

Sauté onion in nonstick pan with butter-flavored spray, use light cheese, and replace the bacon with low-fat chopped ham. For a beer-imbued rendition of the classic French quiche, substitute Swiss cheese and ham for the Monterey Jack cheese and bacon.

Slowly pour egg mixture over the onion mixture. Do not stir. Place on the lower shelf of oven. Bake approximately 40 minutes or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
